Mint Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies are full of mint chocolate candies, chocolate chips, and walnuts. They are chewy in the center and crispy around the edges just how I like cookies best!
I wait in carpool line approximately an hour every day waiting for the boys to dismiss from school.
Sometimes I nap, or surf social media….
And, sometimes I eavesdrop on the telephone conversation of the lady behind me.
She’s really loud.
Most of the time I think about what I can cook.
The idea for these cookies came to me from a TV show. Do you watch Unique Sweets on FoodNetwork? It’s about bakeries around the U.S. and their crazy creations. One episode was on cookies. It made me want to stuff a cookie full of chocolate and nuts.
I want a giant cookie. That’s crispy around the edges and soft in the center.
This is my experiment.
It worked.
These Mint Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies are ‘da bomb’!

How do I get cookies with crispy edges with chewy, moist centers that have big melted chunks of chocolate? It’s all about the
- Butter keeps cookies tender.
- It also gives cookies flavor.
- Additionally, it affects texture.
Melting

COOKIE BAKING TIPS
- Read your recipe through completely before starting.
- Bake by the minimum timelisted on recipes and check them after minimumso as not to overcook.
- Cool cookies on the baking sheetfor 2 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Have all ingredients at room temperature unless otherwise specified.
- Use realbutter.
- Use aspring release scoop (ice cream scoop)for even shaped cookies.
- One important step in the process of making cookies is to refrigerate the doughbefore baking. This allows the
butter to firm up so the cookie doesn’t spread too much. As well, it allows the gluten to relax for a more tender cookie. Additionally, there’s no harm in making the dough, forming it into balls, and keeping them in the fridge for up to 5 days before baking them. - The dough will also freeze for up to 4 months. Bake as directed whenever you’re ready to bake.
- Don’t over mix the dough. This will make a tough cookie.
- I highly recommend baking cookies on a Silpat mat.
- Carefully andcorrectly measure flour.

Mint Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies
Using a large scoop, I had 26 cookies. If you make them small (regular size), you'll have about 4 dozen. Use 2 cookie sheets. Allow the cookie sheet to cool off before placing second batch of dough on them. Never place cookie dough on a hot sheet.
